The report of the chief constructor
states that but four OF the present

end OF six years, and that the present

ton is called to the considerations

TO tho provision of additional facilities

Apart from this question of an addition

tainly be taken to place the only naval
station now existing upon the coast
that OF San Francisco, in a fully
equipped condition.
OCEAN SURVEYS.
In reference to the continuance OF
ocean surveys, it appears highly dc.
sirdhle that rocks and shoals reported
to exist in the Pacific ocean and the
Caribbean Sea, hut not put down on
charts, should be searched for and lu-
Gated.
SHIPBUILDING.
Under the head of shipbuilding, the
report saws: at is believed that oui
private ship yards Gin produce war
ships equal and perhaps superior to
those produced elsewhere, when these
industries shall have been established.
1t is notably in this connection that
the efforts OF the department. to raise
the standard of material for ships has
resulted in II class Of material believe
to be superior to any ever produced
for any similar purpose. Especially
has the steel made upon the Pacific
coast been notable for its durability in
the construction OF cruisers. These
facts may mark an important event in
its industri ! history.
MORE MEN WANTED.
The report concludes by saying !:
"a point has now been reached when
an increase in the number of officers
and men is absolutely required by the
demands of the service. 1t is not
possible for the present limited COM
plement to perform efficiently the
'iuties imposed on it. The number
of econd-lieutenants is now fifteen.
and is subject to further reduction.
At the same time promotion in higher
grades is blocked. The number of
enlisted men is also inadequate. At
none of the shore stations are there
enough men to carry on duty, and
numerous vacancies exist in the
guards of vessels, which it is inpossi-
BILE to fill. On tine Pacific station
alone there are no less than thirty
male members on corps, and the con-
sequent overwork leads to frequent
'lesertions In view of these facts l
strongly recommend that tie number
of officers be increased, and that the
cDmplen ant of emil .ted men be- raised
by the addition Of 500 privatcs.
